Across
- 4. the main pigment found in chloroplasts of plants; green in color
- 5. called the "powerhouse" of the cell because this is where the second stage of cellular respiration takes place and a great deal of energy is released
- 7. H2O; essential for photosynthesis to take place, a product of cellular respiration
- 9. CO2; essential for photosynthesis to take place, a product of cellular respiration
- 10. provides almost all the energy used by living things on Earth
Down
- 1. sugar; a product of photosynthesis, needed for cellular respiration to take place
- 2. process in which cells break down simple food molecules such as glucose and release the energy they contain
- 3. the process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make food
- 6. an energy-releasing process that does not require oxygen; energy level is much lower than that of cellular respiration
- 8. O2; a product of photosynthesis, sometimes needed for cellular respiration to take place
